The Sustainability of Paper and Print| Quality Printing London
17 August 2016
Email signatures containing statements like ‘Think before you print and save a tree’ and ‘Please
consider the environment before printing’ have been all over our email inboxes. But these mes-
sages have not been scientifically proven and ignore the sustainability of print on paper. Paper is
a highly sustainable, recyclable product and “the print industry is a world leader when it comes
to sustainable raw materials, renewable energy and recycling” (Two Sides, 2016).
Here at Solways, we believe that print is a valuable and sustainable means of communication and
therefore, we recycle all our waste paper and make sure that all of our paper products come from
legal and well-managed sources. But, the most environmentally thing we do is … use paper! Most
of our paper is FSC-certified which means the more we use, the more trees are planted as sustain-
able institutions plant three new trees to replace one old one.
